AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Mg has 21 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 7,766 miles. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of brake advisories and a dangerous tyre defect, compounded by a complete lack of recent mileage activity.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,087 miles per year, with suspiciously low readings before Oct 2021 (103 mi/yr equivalent) and no activity since Nov 2024, indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage: 1,087 miles in 22 years (Jan 2003 to Oct 2025) — high fraud risk.
- Recurring brake disc advisories across 6 tests (Apr 2019–Oct 2025) — structural neglect.
- Dangerous offside front tyre cracking advisory (Apr 2019) — safety-critical defect.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) — below-average safety for a 2003 model.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-12 — no immediate retest required.
- No test failures recorded (1 minor failure, Oct 2024) — single, immediately resolved issue.
- Consistent annual MOT testing since first registration (Jan 2003).
